Title:
  touching the display brightness

Status in Gnome Powermanager:
  Confirmed
Status in gnome-power-manager package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  The gnome-power-manager should have something like a check-box to
  disable the ``Set display brightness to'' slider and it should be
  disabled by default, i.e. g-p-m should not touch the display
  brichtness by default.  And it definitely should not set it to 100% by
  default!  (That probably is unhealthy for your eyes for nearly all of
  today's notebooks, at least if you're not working in a very lightish
  environment, and it's a waste of energy.)

  It's very annoying if g-p-m modifies the display brightness every now
  and then, especially if you use your notebook (IBM/Lenovo T42 for me)
  during the day and during the night, and thusly there is no display
  brightness setting that fits both cases.  I nearly always have to
  adjust the display brightness after g-p-m touched it, as there is no
  common denominator: having it at 100% during the night is nearly
  enough to enlighten the whole room, 50% is fine there, however 50% is
  not enough during the day.

  That's why I propose for g-p-m not to touch that setting by default.

  This applies to both of the ``Running on AC'' and ``Running on
  Battery'' cases.

  I'm using the current Ubuntu Dapper, gnome-power-
  manager-2.13.93-0ubuntu3.
